For instance, a single clockwise turn of the top face (denoted as U) would have a period of 4 because that's how long it t...

Re: (Fun writing) Let's pretend civilisation has just been discovered!

(I just want to say, we don't need to discover everything in order. I agree with BokaBB and Para that we shouldn't be discovering things at lightspeed, but in the CGOL version, for example, the HWSS and Pulsar were both discovered before the glider.)
